post mortem



they failed to find any musk from his navel.
his skin was dissected layer by layer,
but did not yield a single sheet of gold.
oh, his skin was simply made of flesh &fibers!

from his big belly
they could not discover the precious gems
he was supposed to have eaten through out his life.

not a page of holy scriptures was found from his coiled brain.
and neither could they collect a drop
of that proverbial Suryavanshi bravery
from his large liver.

nor did they find the nectar earned by his holy deeds
from his poisonous heart.
he was cut into pieces
but did not find his 6th sense.

yes, from his chest was found a pretty heart of a wolf,
from the tips of his fingers were found the roots of crooked claws,
from his crystal-clear denture were found trident teeth,
from his beautiful eyes were found the crocodile’s tears
and from his orthodox veins was found poisonous alcohol.

yes, that was the post-mortem
of an aryakumar’s mummy.
